We will now have a moment of silence …
Posted on | February 22, 2005 | Comments Off
… while I move my web site to a new server.
Naming no names, but there are some large web hosting companies out there talking out of both sides of the mouth. On the one hand, they have their terms of service that prohibits sending spam and they make a very big deal out of their anti-spam technologies, which they make available to their email service customers.
On the other hand, they don’t enforce their terms of service because those spammers use a lot of bandwidth and the web hosting companies make lots of money from them. And, now that CAN-SPAM has both definitively legalized spam and indemnified ISPs, they can afford to do that.
I expect I’ll be writing an article about this situation in the not-too-distant future.
Meanwhile, I can’t afford to hang around a web host that does that sort of thing, because it means that their mail servers regularly wind up on the block lists and that keeps me from delivering newsletters to you. For an electronic newsletter publisher, this is a very bad thing.
So, I’m currently engaged in the delightful task of moving my web sites — all nine of them.
This is likely to be a time-consuming process but I anticipate no change in delivery schedule as far as the Journal itself is concerned. It does mean that I may be a bit quiet in the Blog for a couple of days, while I get all my scripts re-configured.
Bear with me, I beg. And thank you for your patience.
